Kuwaiti Shiites demand public holiday on Ashuraa

Kuwaiti Shia cleric Sayed Mohamed Baqer Al-Mohri has demanded from the government to announce public holiday on Ashuraa â€“ Moharram 10 â€“ honoring the blood of Abi

Â Al-Ahraar Al-Imam Al-Hussein (peace be on him) and respecting his grandfather Prophet of Allah (peace be on him and his holy progeny).

In a statement issued on the beginning of Moharram, Al-Mohri said we have been demanding the same for many years because Al-Imam Al-Hussein (AS) belongs to all Muslims and he fought against terrorism, oppression and barbarism.
